007
In Defence of Neal Purvis and Robert Wade
Anyone who’s been following Cult Britannia’s excellent re-appraisals of the James Bond movies in the run-up to Skyfall’s release may have noticed a continued criticism of one element of the recent films, one I’ve never noticed before. Regular screenwriters Neal Purvis and Robert Wade “don’t have the writing chops to deliver anything unique, original or [...]
Bond at 50: Quantum of Solace
We continue our mission to review every James Bond film ever released… When Quantum Of Solace was first released, myself and a friend (Ron Brunwin) were writing a 007 stage spoof which would premiere not long afterwards. We wanted a few topical and up-to-date gags about the film to include at the end of the [...]
Bond at 50: Casino Royale
We continue our mission to review every James Bond film ever released! There’s no denying that Die Another Day was a huge box office success. Unfortunately though it pretty much played out as an over the top in joke, kind of like the Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back of the Bond franchise. But without [...]
Bond at 50: Die Another Day
We continue our mission to review every James Bond film ever released as we make our way towards the release of Skyfall in October… There’s a line uttered, in extreme exasperation, by Steve Coogan as his most famous creation Alan Partridge, when the character spends an entire episode of I’m Alan Partridge trying to watch [...]
Bond at 50: The World Is Not Enough
We continue our mission to review every James Bond film ever released as we make our way towards the release of Skyfall in October… Before we start, here’s a little quiz for you. A Bond brain teaser. Can you spot the deliberate mistake in this piece of dialogue? JAMES BOND: What do I need to [...]
Bond at 50: Tomorrow Never Dies
We continue our mission to review every James Bond film ever released as we make our way towards the release of Skyfall in October… New Years Eve 1997. A young (compared to now) 18-year old Bond fan ignores all of the exciting New Year party invites he didn’t get in favour of heading to the [...]
Bond at 50: Licence to Kill
We continue our mission to review every James Bond film ever released as we make our way towards the release of Skyfall in October… I’m going to be upfront and honest right here. I’m a Timothy Dalton fan. Not one of those Johnny-Come-Lately Dalton fans who have rediscovered him on the back of Daniel Craig’s [...]
Bond at 50: The Living Daylights
We continue our mission to review every James Bond film ever released as we make our way towards the release of Skyfall in October… Originally Michael G. Wilson conceived The Living Daylights as an origin story, telling the tale of a younger, possibly pre-00 Bond, but Cubby Broccoli had no interest in telling the tale [...]
Bond at 50: Octopussy
We continue our mission to review every James Bond film ever released as we make our way towards the release of Skyfall in October… And so we come to Roger Moore’s penultimate Bond adventure and it’s probably fair to say that this is the second worst film in the series. After trying to give Bond [...]
$4000 for James Bond Originals?
Owning a first edition of a popular older book is like owning a piece of history, it feels amazing to hold a book that would become wildly popular or extremely influential in your hands. There is also of course the sheer collectors value and investment involved as well. If 007 is your obsession of choice [...]
